I know Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (TCM), where needles and moxa are used.
Don´t see a reason to use Tong Ren, in case one knows TCM.
Or has Tong Ren something which is missing in TCM ?

Yes they do have more than TCM.They bang on plastic dolls with a magnetic hammers.
The anecdotal results have captured the attention of western medicine.

Tashi delek,

Oh, i see they beat with tiny hammers on Accu Points. Its like with Reiki, they make use of Universal Energy.
Guess that they can transmit the beaten Accu Point(s) to the patients body.
So it resembles also a little Hoodo Voodo.
But i don´t understand why they don´t stick just a needle into the Accu Point of the patient ............

There are laws in some states against sticking needles in dolls so they don't do it in public.
Some do this needle practice in private as it was first taught.

Tashi delek A,

What is then the reason why sticking needles in a doll which is not a human, is forbidden ?
A doll cannot feel and has mind. In Hoodoo Voodoo and Shamanism a doll can be vitalized and function like a medium.

- But that is what the government in the USA does not take serious, or do they?

I don't think there is a federal law but it goes by state laws.I don't know how strictly the state laws are
enforced.In any case Tong Ren folks stopped the practice in public.
